Typewriter

By Rebecca, Age 11

Have you ever seen those movies where all the authors write on typewriters? Well, first of all, how? Second of all, why? And third of all, where can I get one? Covid reminds me of a typewriter: no deleting, no auto correct, and definitely no blue and red swirly underlines when you make a mistake so horrible that the computer doesn’t even know what you are doing. You can’t just delete covid from existence, and you can’t change it from covid-19 to, “I am definitely not dangerous”

One month later:

all I can think about is change. But the thing is, nothing changed for me, just the people around me. My parents said “It’s Your choice to wear a mask or not,” but I still choose to wear a mask.
Why?
I told my friends it was because I got too used to masks. But that’s just not true. I really don’t know why I did it. It just felt right. After seeing only one other person wearing a mask, I’m doubting my decision, but, I trust my gut. I don’t know where it will take me, but all I know it won’t ever be boring.
